Ceramic powders were explosively compacted to high density at pressures up to 7 GPa. Microstructures of the compacted and annealed ceramics were examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy and microhardness techniques. It is expected that explosive-powder-compactor process may be successfully used in the manufacture of ceramic products with high densities. 14 refs.
